I won the lot without thinking in advance about whether the device would work for us.

What do you think? It seems that the situation in 4, 4S is more calm, there was an unlock. And what is there now?

Among other things:

Bad ESN - a problematic phone, either with contract debts, or on the blacklist of the national base, etc. (it is possible that it was lost or stolen).

You are in vain, my friend. The unlock situation for new processors is still sad.

There was a paid unlock for all models. Wool thematic forums (iguides, etc.)

As far as I understand, at the moment it is impossible to unlock Sprint.
In the future, I advise you to save money, save your nerves and take a normal device.

some strange seller - judging by the reviews, he sold this phone 2 times already, not counting you. And this despite the fact that there is essentially no information about the phone - there is not even information about what version it is in terms of volume. And so - $ 425 is too much for possible problems with the unlock + bad ESN. By the time any solution comes out, Apple will release the iPhone 5s already and the prices for the 5k will drop by $100. That is, for $425 you will buy an unpatched one.
So better give up.

Please don't buy this one! Only Verizon BAD ESN can be unlocked at digitalunlocking.com/official-service-clean-bad-es... and that costs a hefty $95! It is better to find a phone blocked under AT&T on ebay - you can unlock it for little money here , but not more than 200 forever green!!!
